The District of Cunninghame (Coineagan in Scottish Gaelic) today forms part of North Ayrshire, Scotland. The county of Ayrshire is traditionally divided into districts by its rivers. It was therefore divided into the three districts of Cunninghame in the north along the River Irvine, Carrick in the south along the River Doon and in the centre by the Kyle on the River Kyle. These three districts formed Ayrshire, one of the traditional counties of Scotland.
